Booking 2024

I know this is some time away, but I'm am planning ahead.

I have just been giving a price for May 2024 for flight, transfer and hotel.

I always thought you couldnt book this far in advance?

Has anyone else had any experience of booking so far in advance.

2 A 3C coming out about £6K... Staying offsite at a Hilton.

What would you advice be? This is the first time going with my family only...

Who did you book with? There is no way they can give you a price for a flight this far in advance.

Thought as much. No travel agent can predict prices so far in advance. Disney aren't selling rooms and tickets that far in advance and neither are airlines. They are guessing and will pester you (from experience). Save your money and put it aside. Don't give them a penny yet.

Agree totally with the above posts, no travel agent can give you any sort of realistic price so far in advance. Dont part with a penny, far too early.

Ok, thank you, so what your saying is they can put the price up? They are asking for a deposit and then the remainder of the balance 12 weeks beforehand...

They can as the price will go up and they will not want to be out of pocket. You could end up getting a better price elsewhere so i would wait.

If someone is willing to take a booking then of course you can book as far in advance as they’ll allow. I personally wouldn’t do it as the prices are a total unknown for the latter part of 2022 let alone beyond that.

That said, if you’re happy with the price and they’ve guaranteed you it won’t go up then it’s up to you if you’re comfortable booking.

I’ve seen many a comment on here regarding that particular company and unfortunately not many positive. I’d give them a wide berth. Bank your dough and wait a bit longer.
I’ve booked for Aug 2022 already, this is about as far as I am comfortable with. For 2024 I’d be waiting until early/ mid 2023.
